The sheer size of investment in data centers is drawing concern as it surpasses all other historical booms and crowds out other more job-creating ventures.

The theme of Saturday’s nationwide No Kings protest was “vote early.” However, New Hampshire — which saw demonstrations in Portsmouth, Nashua, Littleton and other cities — doesn’t allow early in-person voting.

It’s mid-October, and New Hampshire has never been more stunning. How stunning? The autumn reds and golds are barely muted by the pall of another election season.

I have a bridge that I’d like to sell you — maybe you’ve heard that one before. Actually, you’ve bought this bridge once before, long ago. I want you to buy it again. There’s a catch: this bridge has moved — not physically — but it’s in a different country. In 1936, Peterborough flooded. The

WE BUY HOUSES. CASH 4 HOMES. FA$T CA$H. The signs, text messages and mailers promise cash, quick sales and a seamless means of unloading unwanted homes.

As U.S. Sen.

In ways too numerous to count, the political events of the past two years have been tragic for this country. But because despair isn’t an option, my survival technique is to view much of it as comedy. Granted the violence, cruelty, and callousness of this moment make that difficult, but hopelessness is a trap that
Though they can be tricky to spot, the charisma and rarity of some of New Hampshire’s federally endangered and threatened species have bought them some local celebrity. Recognizable and photogenic, for example, are the piping plovers that raise puffball chicks on the Seacoast; Concord’s own sky-colored Karner blue…

An analysis of 2024 election results by the Bulletin has found that Republicans in those…
In 2026, the Granite State labor market began to show signs of recovery from its 2025 slowdown.

Looking back and comparing 2024 to 2025 by…
